Paper Route Robbery 

A gunman robbed a man and woman as they delivered newspapers early Saturday morning. According to police, the two were making deliveries in the 2400 block of McGee Avenue when a gunman pulled up in a silver car and demanded their money. He grabbed the woman’s purse, the man’s wallet and a cell phone, then ordered them to close their eyes until he drove away.

Two sound sleepers awoke to find that a robber had kicked open their front door and made off with their belongings. According to police, two roommates on the 2700 block of Durant Street went to sleep around 3 a.m. Sunday and woke up around 10 a.m. to find one’s wallet unfolded on the floor with $60 missing and the other’s $2,100 laptop computer gone.
